My mom has spoiled him a lot he is the Favorite grandson and i am trying to reverse some of the ego that has come with it. In her eyes he can do no wrong and i think this has added to the problem  The lighter insident was 1 time it happened last week he snuck the lighter while i was cleaning up the dinner mess. I allow them in my back yard periodically with the door open to play by them selves, However they are not left unatennded i don't leave or walk away. It is only allowed because we have a full fenced in yard and pad locks on the gate. There is nothing they can get into back there. He was out there 5 min i caught him right away he had a stick in hand trying to light it. I immediatly grabbed it talked to both of them and then grounded Him to his room.
I too fear a lot and so they know about stranger danger and they know if i am not with them or haven't given them permission they are not allowed outside PERIOD!! This is why it's frustrating they know the rules |
That sounds like something normal that a little boy would try. Little boys can be a mess sometimes. Some are harder than others. I would try to get him something to do with boys his own age that behave, maybe it would rub off on him. I still suggest some kind of activity. Have you asked him what he might like to do for the summer, picking something he wants to do could help with the screaming crying after he gets there thing. But you should not let him quit just because he has a fit. He will learn that when he wants something all he has to do is have a fit to get it.
